Coffee factsheet

This factsheet was produced for, and used at the international Seas of Change workshop in 2012.

Coffee ranks high among the most important agricultural commodities traded in international markets, in terms of both volume and value. A vast majority of the world’s 25 million coffee producers are smallholder farmers, who are directly dependent on coffee for their livelihoods.

The factsheet overviews state of the art trends, characteristics and challenges on coffee production, trade and consumption.
